I don’t know about the rest of you but sometimes when I get excited I start freaking out and have troubles breathing – I’m not quite sure if its my asthma or mental… Anyway… That’s how I was feeling as we approached our huge boat – that I was about to board. And when we walked on and everything was so fancy and there were glass elevators… It basically felt like I was on a huge floating castle! But let’s start back at the beginning – shall we?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!!!! Yes, I know it’s a bit late… But better late than never!!!? I hope your holidays were filled with cheer and that they reminded you a bit of our Saviour as we celebrated his birthday!

This year the teens from the Glen Ewen Gospel Hall were invited to sing at the Glen Ewen Community Christmas Concert! Continue reading →

AHHHHHHHH!!!!! We are flying down our hill, having a great time – then we hit deep snow and it all goes down our necks and we come to a sudden and complete halt. Lanaya flies off, with myself just a few seconds after her, so I flip/roll to the side avoiding crushing her by a couple centimetres… But that’s what happens when you go flying down a hill, on a sled, facing each other – you do cool flips and rolls…!!!? The extra cool part about all of that was the fact that I didn’t even hurt anything!!! So now I’m hoping it will snow again and we’ll get some more quality sledding time in!? Continue reading →

I GOT MY LICENCE!!!!!!!! Well, my learners licence, but same difference! I can now drive as long as I’ve got a supervising driver in the car!!!! I’ve driven four times since I got my licence yesterday morning. Every time was amazing! And Dad is even letting me drive the truck! Plus, now that I sit in the front I get a heated seat!!!!?

I stepped down out of the truck – and was greeted by a group of screaming girls running towards me. (Man, was it good to be home!) So I dropped all my stuff, shrieked, and then proceeded to hug them all!!! Continue reading →

Surprise!!!!!! You see, before we came home we went to the Badlands for a couple of days. The fact we are home is much better than the day spent in the badlands so I had to share that first… but I’m not quite done showing up in your inbox just yet.?

Now on to the Badlands…

In 1935, Wall Drug wasn’t getting any costumers – so they stuck up a sign for free water and five cent coffee. A they say, the rest is history, and they are now a flourishing tourist trap. That’s where we spent our Monday afternoon. Continue reading →

A scream has been welling in the back of my throat for the last two hours. So I screamed into my pillow once. I have felt like barfing at least 16 times. And I think I’ve done around five happy dances. Who knew going home would wreck such havoc on my body…?

I don’t know if you’ve guessed by now, but we arrived home last night!!!! It was the most beautiful sunset, and the familiar fields were like a breath of fresh air. Seeing the pump jacks – even driving on the gravel was amazing!? Continue reading →

Amazing! That is the word to describe the Christian music concert, Hills Alive. But I’ll get to making all of you jealous in a minute…?

Every year, around April or May, I ask my parents, “So… Are we going to Hills Alive?” If they say, “We’re not sure,” I try to think up as many amazing reasons as I can to get them to go. If they say “No,” I’m devastated – and I might just ask them a couple more times, just in case they change their minds…? And if they say, “Yes!!!!!!!” Then I give a big whoop, and go see if any of my friends are going.

Now, what exactly is Hills Alive? It is a free christian music concert in Rapid City, SD. It’s got food vendors, free bouncy castles, you can even try out some of Scheel’s merchandise on the pond in the park! And they always have an amazing lineup of artists! This year the two ‘closers’ were Crowder and Matthew West! One of the perks from attending is the awesome suntan you get…? I’m kind of serious, but not really because the best thing is standing at the stage, jammin’ with your friends!!! Continue reading →

“Oh, yeah! Wisconsin Dells here we come!” *Cough cough* Famous last words. Because the next thing you know cars are waving at us… Letting us know we’ve got smoke pouring out of the camper tires. Continue reading →
